Some have touched on this in other topics, but the idea of performing an “opener” workout for a return to training (even from a recovery week) is something to consider. Using a short, high intensity workout as a “wakeup” for the body & mind could make sense in a training case just as it does for racing. Certainly worth a test for anyone who feels that the first workouts back are harder than they should be.
